"Discrete models and formal verification in biology"

29-31 August 2018, Murray Edwards College, Cambridge
https://discretebiology.com/

A systems biology meeting about using cutting edge techniques from computer science. Talks will discuss a broad range of applications, including cancer biology, the design and refinement of experimental methods, and drug treatment strategies.

Early bird registration extended to June 29! Book now for £50 discount. Accommodation available at a discounted rate.

A fundamental feature of biological systems is the scale and complexity of the underlying networks. To understand this biocomplexity it will require the adoption of novel tools and concepts from computer science that allow the construction and analysis of models using techniques derived from the field of formal verification.

This meeting will bring together systems biologists and computer scientists from a wide range of fields to discuss how to apply and develop these new approaches. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
• Logical, executable, and rule based models of biological processes
• Validation and formal verification of biological models
• The application of such methods to modelling new systems
• Model inference and synthesis from experimental data
• Multiscale modelling and analysis
• Hybrid and physical models of biological growth processes
Registration and abstract submission for posters and talks is now open
